Recently got a TS12, just wanted some help if possible from fellow synthheads out there who have one of these amazing machines. I have the user guide documents but they read like a japanese vcr instruction manual lol.

Im trying to put on new patches. From what i understand, I can just buy a usb to floppy drive for $10 and some cheap floppys and just put the files on from my pc? Is this right. Just wanna double check before i spend money buying them.

I also understand you need special floppy disks for putting on samples? Is this right? and for patches you just get normal 1.44mb floppy disks?

My demo songs do not play as well. The songs with a $ in front of them do nothing when i press play. Other than this the synth seems perfect. I wonder if something has been damaged or i need to reinitialize it.

Wow that sucks hehe does anyone wanna send me some of their floppy disks with patches and Ill pay you over paypal?

Im really after the dx7 patches and any analog 80's type sounds i can get my hands on for it. I have downloaded them from a ts10/12 fan site.

You can send via post to Vegas. If interested let me know and I can sort out a appropriate payment. I could even send the disks back after too if your in short supply.

Also one little thing too if you guys can help. I press play on the songs which are the ones marked with the "$" sign and dont hear anything at all. so far i havent managed to play any sequencer patterns or songs. Ive read the manual and swear i am doing it right but hear nothing play. DO you think something is broken? Seems strange because the synth is really in mint condition almost like new and every button works and Im sure the play button works too. I can edit and do everything else fine. Havent managed to record anything yet but think thats because im just not doing it right.

Thanks people. And if anyone can help me play the demo songs that would be great. I still dont hear anything and most of the time "MREC" flashes on the left which is obviously midi recording which i dont want.
